14, old man Geng

"It's clear that I'm the general, he's just a captain, why does he seem to be much busier than me." General Yan, who came over after finishing his work, couldn't help but sigh a little when he saw that his friend had left.

General Yan was not disappointed by the departure of his friend, on the contrary, he was looking at Chen Zhengping with interest at the moment. I was busy fighting with Lao Lang just now and didn't pay attention to his apprentice, but now I look at it more and more, the more pleasing it is, the young man is tall and strong, and his appearance is tough and refreshing, which is quite attractive, especially the simple and small flat head makes the whole person more energetic, and it looks like a soldier.

"What's your name, have you ever been a soldier?" General Yan asked suddenly.

Chen Zhengping was furious when he was looked at by General Yan with a smile on his face, and he even felt that General Yan would not have any surprises when he wanted to introduce him to him in the next moment.

"Report sir, my name is Chen Zhengping, and I graduated from the military academy." Chen Zhengping was inevitably nervous when facing this General Yan alone, and subconsciously answered in the way he was most familiar with in the military academy.

Hearing that the young man in front of him was a graduate of the military academy, General Yan's face suddenly became serious: "Why don't you come to the army after graduation." At the same time, his tone became very stern.

The Confederation has adopted a compulsory military system, in which every male citizen of school age is obliged to accept military drafting, but this system has become so ambiguous in practice that even military cadets are now free to choose whether or not to enlist as long as they are not fully funded by the state. General Yan's seriousness at the moment does not stem from any shortage of troops, on the contrary, because of the higher treatment and social status, enlisting in the army has always been one of the main channels to get out of the bottom, and most of the reason why he is serious at the moment is because the people he likes are not working under him is a pity, this is still because he doesn't know much about Chen Zhengping, otherwise if General Yan knows what Chen Zhengping's missile commander said, he will leave him to work on the ship.

"Everywhere you go, it's for the Federation to shine." I have to say that Chen Zhengping's words at the moment are very dishonest.

General Yan didn't pursue the dishonesty in Chen Zhengping's words, because he had a sister who was unrequited in love with the captain of the first team and the deputy captain of the team, so he knew that Chen Zhengping had a lot of things, including the young man in front of him who was the son of Director Chen of the original S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau.

General Yan no longer asked those questions he already knew, and said straight to the point: "I still need to get some greeting gifts when I see the juniors for the first time, otherwise I will be told that I am stingy." I see that you are now rated to the state of C-grade peak, that should be the B-grade peak grading medicine used, although the B-grade peak grading medicine is very precious, I can give you one. You should know that the worst result of re-grading will not drop the level, at most it will stand still, and if you can break through the first line to the B level in this ranking, it will be very beneficial to the improvement of your entire strength, you really want to do something in the first team of S.H.I.E.L.D., and it will be much safer to have the strength to be around. ”

General Yan has this proposal to Chen Zhengping at this moment, mainly because his sister did not tell him about Chen Ju and the Lang team giving Chen Zhengping an A-level peak grading pill and an A-grade peak probability pill, and she will strictly keep it secret from her team members, as the vice captain, of course she will keep it strictly secret, but it is this secrecy that makes Chen Zhengping embarrassed again. He didn't use the B-grade peak grading pill at all, but he used an A-grade peak grading pill solidly, so although he was only a C-grade peak at the moment, in fact, even the ordinary A-grade peak grading pill was useless to him now.

"I think the peak of the C-level is already very good, and if you don't have enough combat experience to match the level that is too high, it will be an empty shelf, and I am also ready to lay a solid foundation and then become stronger step by step." In order to avoid embarrassment, Chen Zhengping continued to tell lies seriously.

"It's good that the lad is not arrogant or impatient." General Yan praised after hearing this, but he was a little worried about what to give Chen Zhengping as a greeting gift, and suddenly he thought of something and said: "Before you get off the ship in a while, I will find someone to record a message for you, and I will give you an identity so that you can get assistance when you meet the federal army in the wilderness in the future." ”

Chen Zhengping did not refuse this time and did not ask what his identity was, it was a normal operation to promise first and then find any vacancies, but it was annoying to be too serious. Then the two talked for a while, during which General Yan also mentioned that his sister was the deputy of the first team, and also said that he couldn't fall behind the old wolf, and was ready to accept an apprentice, and wait for the next time to let his apprentice share the strength with Chen Zhengping, which can be regarded as an extension of General Yan's persistent desire to win and defeat the Lang team, and finally told Chen Zhengping that he would form a report and hand it over to Chen Zhengping after his subordinates finished doing it.

Chen Zhengping actually wanted to ask why he had to form a report on behalf of the pension, but he couldn't help it, maybe this was the rule. When you don't understand, you should learn silently, not question it in a daze. Chen Zhengping was put down from the space carrier in a place near the central city, and everything returned to normal, and of course no outsiders had ever come up to such an important military unit.

Before leaving, Team Lang left Chen Zhengping a piece of protonuclear of a C-class beast of unknown origin, and after showing the permission certificate given by S.H.I.E.L.D., he smoothly brought the protocore into the city, which was also the material for his mission this time. Thinking that he had worked hard for almost a week and finally had to rely on the help of his master to hand in the task, this couldn't help but make the young man sigh, and then he inevitably thought of his own rating and guarantee, and he was so sad.

Chen Zhengping, who returned to the city, was not in a hurry to hand in the task, he was too tired. In the wild, the whole person seems to have been tightened by the strings, the high-intensity pressure prompts him to keep vigilant all the time, the high intensity of the battle has made him use up all his physical strength again and again, coupled with the excessive blood loss from injuries and the lack of nutritional supplements, all of which makes Chen Zhengping, who is about to go home, feel a little unreal, he no longer knows how he has survived these days, although this mission is just a simple task that is not worth doing in the master's mouth.

But Chen Zhengping, who was about to get home, heard someone call him: "Ping Wazi, what are you doing when you're not at home these days?" ”

The old man was very old and stubborn, and he only sold his own hand-built mechanical prosthetics, but his expensive works always showed a sense of old and rough, so naturally no one was willing to come to his business. The door has been cold for a long time, and the signboard of Lao Geng's mechanical prosthetics has also worn out and faded under the washing of the years, and the shop is also uncertain between SchrΓΆdinger's opening and not opening, but I don't know what he has relied on to maintain his life over the years.

Chen Zhengping is familiar with the old man Geng, although he doesn't remember when and why he is familiar with him, he only knows that he often goes to Geng Ye to chat in his father's busy days all year round, and often comes to the store to do his homework after school.

Hearing Geng Ye's greeting, Chen Zhengping also dispelled the idea of going home to sleep immediately, and replied with a smile: "Geng Ye, let me rest in your store for a while." ”

Old man Geng's shop is very dim, even if the old shelves are spotless, they still don't look so clean, and there are samples of mechanical prosthetics that have been made on them, which are neatly placed according to certain rules, but in this mechanical prosthetic market represented by nano bionics, the steam technology style on the shelves is obviously a bit backward, even if Old Man Geng has always claimed that his works are definitely much better than most of the useless flower shelves on the market.

Chen Zhengping likes to sit on the old black sofa in the store, and he naturally lies on it as if he was going back to his own home, so that the old man Geng, who has nowhere to sit, has to move another stool to sit next to him.

As the family of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Chen Ju and Chen Zhengping have less contact with their neighbors, partly because of the particularity of their work and the need to protect their own information, but in most cases, it is not absolutely confidential, and absolute confidentiality is not necessary, after all, generally speaking, security is very good in the central city, especially in the urban area within the outer ring.

"Master Geng, I've been hunting wild beasts in the wilderness for the past two days." Chen Zhengping closed his eyes on the sofa and replied.

Old man Geng smiled and didn't seem to care about Chen Zhengping's faux pas: "The entry task in your bureau is to hunt beasts?" ”

Chen Zhengping still closed his eyes and replied in a nonchalant voice: "Yes, but I also killed a wilderness man with my own hands this time." ”

Old man Geng watched Chen Zhengping grow up and understood what he was thinking at the moment, but said: "Since everyone is dead, even if you distinguish between right and wrong, you can't change anything." ”

As soon as Old Man Geng's words fell, the street outside suddenly began to become noisy, and Chen Zhengping could only vaguely hear words such as refusal, boycott, high price, and land under the sun, if he guessed correctly, there was probably another parade on the street.

"Master Geng, what happened in the past few days?"

"The previous bill to establish an unshielded satellite city in the wilderness was rejected by the Federal Assembly yesterday."

"It's hard to have some hopes, but the result has been dashed, so it's no wonder they came out to march, and I don't know if this march will win a referendum."

"They're just confused." Geng Ye said and closed the door, turned on the sound isolation device, and continued: "Even if it is a referendum, it will be difficult for them to get what they want, it is just another bullying of people who have no roots and no foundation. ”

The whole space began to become quiet as the store door closed, Chen Zhengping opened his eyes and looked at Geng Ye at this time, and then closed his eyes and said, "I'm also confused." ”

"I know you want me to give you some advice based on my experience, but in fact, you can only be satisfied with the answers you choose. In other words, confusion represents the right to choose, and at your age, most people are forced to wear simple protective clothing and rebuild cities from the ruins of nuclear radiation, and confusion represents death. ”

Chen Zhengping didn't speak, and the air fell silent.

"Asleep?" Old man Geng asked.

"Nope"

Geng Ye seemed to want to speak and stopped, and finally said: "You better sleep for a while, I'll go get you a blanket." ”

"Master Geng, I have at least figured it out a little now, after I join the team, I will focus my work on the Ash Organization, my father died because of them, not to mention that they are people who are born purely for crimes, it is always right to target them."

Old man Geng just hummed lightly but changed the subject: "Ping Wazi, I'm going to go out tomorrow, if it's short, it's a month, and if it's long, I'll be back in three or four months." ”

Seeing Chen Zhengping hear this, he sat up abruptly and asked, "What is Geng Ye going to do?" ”

saw that Geng Ye just waved his hand to signal Chen Zhengping to lie down, drew a blanket and threw it to him, and then said slowly: "I'll go see my son." ”

Chen Zhengping was a little surprised, he didn't know that Geng Ye had a son, but according to common sense, it should be his son who came over, not to make an eighty-year-old man tired.

"I'll go with you." Chen Zhengping said.

Geng Ye shook his head: "No need, I'm still tough enough that you can do your business, and I'll listen carefully to your work experience when I come back." ”

Chen Zhengping knew that the stubborn character had followed Geng Ye all his life, and he couldn't continue to persuade anything. He silently stretched out the quilt and lay down to cover his body, and then said: "I'll wake up at night, Geng Ye will cook me a braised beef, I'll deepen my memory of the delicacy and wait for you to come back." ”

Old man Geng smiled knowingly, and Chen Zhengping also smiled, which may also be a kind of warmth.
